Birthday: December 12th

))Appearance
Hair: Kayiri has dark brown hair, which is normally hidden. In the rain, it droops over his eyes, so he tends to stay inside when it rains.
Eyes: Kayiri has a set of kind, caring brown eyes. It's hard to attach words like that to eyes sometimes, but his pull it off.
Complexion: As a result of his countless hours spent training outside, Kayiri has a healthy tan.
Build: Kayiri is not thin and wiry, but he is not large and Ahnuld-like. All of his wait is muscle, and his shoulders are a bit broader than average. He stands around 5'11".
Attire: Kayiri actually dresses quite different from your stereotyped martial artist. He wears a full-body cloak, dramatic cape included. Under this cloak, he wears a pair of loose pants, dyed black. When he is in his studio, he teaches in the standard white suit with a black belt.
Vocals: Kayiri actually has a strange vocal range. He has a voice that, at most times, seems calm, compassionate and caring. On the other end of the spectrum, he has one of the harshest bass voices you couldn't ever hear, commanding fear and respect.

Personality: Kayiri is strict and stern to his students, making sure they know what they need to survive. Off of the mat, he is a caring person, although he tends to remain silent amongst unknown people. Of course, that may be a natural thing. He is headstrong at times, and will rush into fights he probably won't win.
Sexuality: Bisexual, although prefers females.
Strengths: Kayiri, as a martial artist, has quicker than average reflexes. He also knows how to use his opponent's force against them. He is known for quickly dodging attacks and then using momentum to get an advantage.
Weaknesses: As a martial artist, he also wears no armor. This tends to go against him, as it tends to get him seriously injured by one or two blows from a weapon. His hits are also near useless against armored opponents. His attacks also have a shorter range than those of a weapon wielding opponent. He has a large, dark scar running down his right arm, from shoulder to elbow, on the outside of his arm. A smooth cut here cripple him as seething pain shoots through his body. He can be bribed over from causes he is not completely loyal to with ease.
Abilities
Active: N/A
Passive: N/A
Weapons: Kayiri actually has a form of weapon other than his fists. On his left thigh, he has a small pouch of exactly five throwing knives. He collects them after fights, hence why he still has all five. He also has two metal gloves that cover the tops of his hands to his fingers. His palms are still bare, though. These, hopefully, increase the damage of his punches.
Animal Form: N/A
History: Kayiri was born in a small town known as Lostran. He was the first of three children, two boys and one girl, his brother being a twin. Kayiri was born a few minutes before Robert. His father was an adventurer before he settled down with his mother. Despite his father's urging, Kayiri did not particularly want to become an adventurer. However, in self defense, he learned as many hand to hand combat styles as he could. Do to his father's accumulated wealth, Kayiri was able to attended classes with a foreign scholar, making him much more intelligent than the average farm-boy. He can even speak German due to this training, but that's hardly of use. One day, Kayiri, in total cliche fashion, went out fishing with his brother. When they returned, his small town was being used as a feeding ground for vampires.
Desperate, Kayiri and his brother launched into the fray, attempting to save his family from the vampires. He somewhat succeed, killing the vampire by stabbing a silver candle-holder through his heart. Kayiri then ran for safety with his family, but his brother would never make it out. A vampire swooped down and gorged on the injured brother, leaving the body instead of turning it.
In the confusion, Kayiri was separated from his family, bleeding profusely. He thought it was the end of him, collapsing to the ground and watching the world around him grow dull and colorless. By a stroke of luck, a traveling apothecary took him in, bringing him to Alatus Nox. It is in this town that Kayiri learned everything he knew about medicinal herbs and poisons. With the apothecary's aid, Kayiri's arm recovered, and her survived, although with a nasty scar to forever remember the tragic destruction of his home.
When his mentor, Thomas, died, Kayiri took up the building he used to own and converted half of it into a martial arts studio. The second half is still an apothecary, used to treat injured students. He keeps a picture of Thomas hung on the wall, to remember what the man did for him out of kindness alone.

As for the sample post, I normally use italics for thoughts, but since the whole sample was in italics, I used tildas. Hope that's okay.
